Our Fall :: Nuestro Otoño

En algunos paises, el otoño es una estacion muy marcada pues las hojas cambian de colores y sus tonos son tan bellos que pareciera mentira que las hojas en realidad estan muriendo, pareciera que como ultimo acto de servicio deciden dar belleza a nuestros ojos y luego ofrecerse como regalo a la tierra, armando alfombras de tonos terrunos. Durante nuestro otoño participamos de la Convencion Regional y para ello viajamos a Iowa, que queda al suroeste de Wisconsin.

Somos muy afortunados de tener en Madison a Lua & Hadi Yaganagi, una pareja de amigos que conocimos en el Centro Mundial, a quienes visitamos todos los miercoles para reuniones devocionales y con quienes hemos compartido varias aventuras, por ejemplo este viaje a Iowa, al que tambien se nos unio Elyse, una joven baha'i que esta haciendo su PhD e investigando curas contra el cancer... no solamente una persona brillante e inteligente, pero muy dulce y llena de energias.

Una noche la pasamos en Iowa, otra la pasamos en la frontera con Wisconsin donde el Rio Mississippi se une al Rio de Wisconsin... bellisimo!! :) pueden ver el parque donde nos quedamos en esta direccion: http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific/wyalusing/

In some countries, autum is a quite outstanding season since the leaves change their colors and their tones are so beautiful that seems unreal to think that the leaves are dying, it seems that they decided as their last act of service to give beauty to our eyes and then, offer themselves as a gift to the earth, fabricating carpets with earth colors. During fall we participated of the Unit Convention (Regional Convention for some countries) and for it we went to Iowa, at the south-west of Wisconsin.

We are very lucky to have Lua & Hadi Yaganagi in Madison, a couple we met in the World Centre, who we visit every Wednesday for devotional meetings and with who we have shared many adventures, such as this trip to Iowa, to which also Elyse joined us, a young Baha'i lady that is doing ther PhD and researching cures for cancer... not only she is brilliant and inteligent, but she is very sweet and full of energy!

We spent one night in Iowa, and another near the fronteer with Wisconsin where the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers meet... gorgeous!! :) you may see the park where we stayed at this link: http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific/wyalusing/
